Mark, try one in front of the fence and about 18' away from the first big tree on the right.

Yeah, that wouldn't be too bad but very visible from the front and street. There's only one spot I tried with my grand trunk UL inside the wooded area, not enough for a tarp but a WBBB would be fine. Maybe I'll just do my testing when there's no rain forecasted.

I did get in about a 2 hour hang last night. I guess I was resting so well that I would wake myself up snoring... I did not want to freak the neighbors out, so I continued the snoring inside.

I had a vision of being able to have three spots to hang hammocks if needed. I took some time this morning and tried it out. I hope my idea works, but have not tested for weight issues with three folks hanging as of yet. I did test the HH to post. WM blue hammock post to post. They seemed to work fine. I will need to add some more padding around the post to soften the edges for the straps.

I would get myself a spoke shave or a sanding disk for an electric drill and round the edges off. Padding has never been stable enough for me. It either slips or shreds.

Looks like a great setup, round off them corners of the posts and you'll be good to go!

To prevent the need to sand or round the edges of the poles, Rip and I threw some heavy duty eye bolts on each side of the pole near the top.

You'd need 4 for your setup - 2 per pole.

You can then just clip a climbing rated biner on each eye bolt and clip to the eye on your webbing or directly to your whoopie sling.

I rounded a couple of poles with a chainsaw. That's just the kind of carpenter I am. :rofl:

I agree that you should think about adding some eye bolts (drill all the way through the posts). It makes setup very easy.

In my three post setup, I only use one eye bolt per post. We share eye bolts when there's 3 hammocks, and have never had an issue with only having one eye bolt per post.

I had to place my post in the middle and it is weird looking. BUT....I am hanging and that was the goal. If I ever sell of course I will have to dig 'em up.

Put a bowl of bird seed on top of the post and call it a bird feeder.

I have seen others here on HF posting pictures using eye bolts. My question would be can I still use the stock suspension that my HH came with?

Yes.

Loop the cordage through the eyebolt and use as normal.
